Motivation for
further study in the field of Artificial Intelligence
After completing my senior secondary school level (12th) exam, I started exploring my further study options and realized that further pursuing a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence can be the perfect option in order to have a better future career outcome. AI technologies have become the backbone of most of industrial/business processes nowadays; diverse business/industrial sectors are rapidly adopting AI technologies and hence, creating huge possibilities for flourishing career options in the artificial intelligence field.
Why I decided not
to pursue my further study in India & chosen abroad?
For my further study options in India I researched a lot and came to know about the following institutions offering Bachelor of technology courses with specialization in the area of artificial intelligence; Indraprastha Institute of information technology, IIIT, Great Lake International University, Sharda University, Amity University etc. Exploring the course details of the respective study programs, I found it much time-consuming & challenging to get admitted at these; in order to secure admission, it is mandatory to have competitive ranks in either of these national-level entrance exams; AIEEE, JEE, JEE mains and that would be a really challenging and highly time taking task. Also, to study in the field of AI, I realized that studying abroad would be better than studying in India as India is in primitive stages for AI research & innovation whereas abroad countries such as US, UK or Australia etc. are among the world's top for technological innovations and research in the field of artificial intelligence. So, by studying in abroad, I would have the opportunity to learn the latest trends/concepts related to the AI technologies. Keeping these factors in mind I decided to explore my further study options in abroad. (there are possibilities to add on some other reasons here depending upon your personal circumstances).
Why I decided to study in Australia and not in any other abroad country?
While exploring my further study options abroad I found a number of institutions in the USA, UK, Australia, & Canada offering bachelor's qualifications with specialization in areas of artificial intelligence; Illinois Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Advancing Technology, University Leeds, Deakin University, The University of Newcastle, RMIT University, La Trobe University, University of Toronto & Queen’s University. On exploring the respective course details at these I found these below said facts which diverted my attention towards studying further in Australia; costs for studying a bachelor's degree program at these above-stated Australian institutions are reasonable for an international student; a lower amount of funds would be required to study the course at Australian institutions in comparison with the institutions in USA or UK. For studying bachelor's degree course in AI at institutions in Canada, I have to wait for the next year as seats available for the respective courses have already got filled at Canadian institutions whereas at Australian institutions I can start the course in the current year without any delay. Apart from this, I noticed some more good factors about Australia; qualifications from Australian institutions have equal acceptable/recognized globally as that from USA or UK. Australian institutions are well known for offering modern infrastructure & world-class resources for education/research. For an international student, studying in Australia is considered to be safer than USA or UK. Being rated among the world's top livable cities, Australian cities (Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide etc.) offer world-class living experiences. Australian Government, as well as Universities, fully support the international students by offering them scholarships or other funding opportunities to pursue their studies in Australia. On assessing all these factors I found that it is most suitable for me to pursue my further education in Australia.
Why I decided to study at Deakin University & not at any other Australian University?
After making the decision of pursuing my further education in Australia I started researching Australian course providers in detail & came to know the following information; one of the most promising facts about all the course providers is their well-known global reputation. Annual tuition fee costs for studying a bachelor's degree course in artificial intelligence are lower at Deakin University as compared to other universities (Deakin University-33,000 AUD, The University of Newcastle- 34,510 AUD, RMIT University-34,560 AUD & La Trobe university-36,200 AUD). Initially, knowing the fact that Deakin University is one of the globally recognized academic institutions and it is comparatively affordable to study a bachelor's degree course in artificial intelligence at Deakin University, I further made a thorough research to know more about Deakin University. Counting these factors; Deakin's academic faculty is comprised of renowned researchers and industrially experienced professionals, word's best infrastructural facilities and industry-relevant technologies would be offered on campus to study at Deakin University, and Internship/workshops are integrated with courses to provide valuable industrial exposure, it is confirmed that Deakin University is offering one of the best, un-replaceable learning opportunity. Classes-size ratios at Deakin University are optimized regularly in order to maintain optimum instructor-to-student ratios that could offer a personalized learning experience in the classroom. Researching the campus location to study the bachelor's degree course in AI at Deakin University I found that it would be offered at the Melbourne campus; Melbourne city which is counted among the major/most livable cities in Australia. Also, Deakin India Under-Graduate Bursary has reduced the costs of studying the respective AI bachelor's degree course to me; I have been offered with a reduction of tuition fee by 20% for the entire duration of my course via this bursary. Keeping all these factors in my mind I concluded that Deakin University is the best study option for me to pursue my further education in Australia.

Job market in India for AI professionals & my future career plans
The very first thing that is clear in my mind is that I will get back to India on completion of my studies at Deakin University without violating any law or regulation related to the Australian student visa (subclass 500). Closely inspecting the current Indian market trends, the major contributing factors behind the expansion of the AI sector in India are; increasing dependence of industrial & corporate processes (finance, retail & manufacturing etc.) on AI tools and rapidly increasing investments in the AI sector. Expansion of AI sector in India can be directly translated into the stabilization/development of the job market for professionals having professional expertise to design/develop and handle of AI systems/software/technologies; with the expansion of AI sector in India, a vast count of professionals would be needed to work in the AI field. After completing the respective degree from Deakin University I can work as an; AI Engineer, AI Applications Developer, Algorithms Developer & IoT Applications Developer etc. For availing one of the best career options I will make efforts to get a working place at these top Indian MNCs; Accenture, IBM, Capgemini & Wipro etc. In starting, I can easily avail a salary package of about INR 05 to 07 lakhs that would be revised to better values after acquiring handsome experience.
Financial Status of my
